hose on fuel tank
Okay, I finished doing the valves, and when I was putting the tank back on I, for the life of me, cant figure out where one of the hoses goes. Its a black rubber hose that hooks into the right side about half way underneath the tank. Is it a vent line? Best I can figure is it just goes down between the battery and air box and points towards the ground??? Anyone know if its suppose to hookup to anything?
Also, the throttle seems a bit "stiff" when the wheel is hard over to the right. Is this normal? I removed the tank to see if something was twisted or binding, but it all looks good. I suppose there is quite a bit of pull on the cables at this angle.

Check that boththrottle wires have smooth bends and that none of them becomes clamped when the fuel tank is put back. I would not worry if the throttle were a bitstiffer when thefork is fully turned. It doesn't turn much during normal driving, just when making extreme parking manoeuvres. There should be some free play on the throttle bar to prevent the on/off-wires from fighting against each other.

Hi Gill,
I THINK that is a line that connects to your tank to disperse any gas spilled during fuel up. When you take off your gas cap, there is a little hole on the outer rim. It is there in case one overfills or has spillage. The only reason I know this is the guy that helped me do some work on my bike told me mine wasn't connected. Mine is an 88, yours may be different. Take a look under the tank for a spot it might fit.

RE: hose on fuel tank
Thanks for your help. I'm pretty sure thats the vent hose for overfill's.
Shadow, dont pull your tank, I think I'm okay. Thanks for offering!
If I crank it hard right the throttle doesnt "snap" back like it does when its in the straight-ahead position. But if that is normal, then thats how it should be. Thanks all.
